How to make kief hash

There are many ways to make hash from kief, however they all boil down to the same thing:

Apply heat and pressure until kief becomes somewhat cohesive, then place it somewhere cold to solidify.

I ran into this recipe a few weeks ago, tested it, and was simply blown away by the results.

Here is what you’re gonna need for this method:

Grab a mason jar with a lid;

A little bit of kief (1-2 grams);

A piece of wax paper (or parchment paper).

Spread your kief over a small surface on the paper, and then fold the paper over the kief.

Fill the glass jar with hot water, as hot as you can, but you should still be able to hold it. If you can’t hold it because of the heat, use pot holders.

Roll the hot water-filled jar over the top folded piece of paper and the kief underneath it, for at least 8-10 minutes.

Wrap the paper in a sort of envelope fashion, so that nothing falls out, and put it into the refrigerator for at least an hour. This will make it stick together and separate from the paper more easily.

20 things you should know about kief

We understand that marijuana, let alone kief, is a very unfamiliar subject to many people around the world due to its illegal status in so many places.

Education is very important in the cannabis industry because there are countless misconceptions and flat out myths about weed and its products.

The questions below will help you make more sense of kief.

Which is better—kief or hash?

Hash is better than kief because it’s super concentrated and is a true cannabis extract. However, if you are looking for max applicability, kief can be used in many situations where hash can’t, as it’s structure makes it much easier to manipulate.

Can kief go bad?

It’s highly unlikely that kief can go bad because people save up kief in their grinders for months and then smoke it. I have never even heard of kief mold poisoning in my life.

Can kief be smoked?

Yes, kief can be smoked and we strongly recommend you try smoking it first before attempting any other consumption method.

Can kief be used for edibles?

Yes, kief can be used for edibles. Edibles made from kief tend to be significantly stronger than those made from regular cannabis butter, or cannabis-infused oil, so ingest these with extreme caution.

Can kief be vaped?

In theory yes, however it may ruin your vaporizer, rendering it unusable. Since kief is made from hundreds of tiny resin glands, they may fall through and jam vital parts of the vaporizer, thus breaking it for good.

Can kief get you high?

Yes, kief will get you high, even higher than regular weed. Smoking kief can give you the same high as smoking BHO or other extracts because of its high THC content.

Can kief be dabbed?

Yes, however it is a waste of kief as there are other ways of using kief to get an instant high, such as sprinkling it over a joint. If you insist on smoking it in a glass utensil, use a regular bong.

Can kief make you hallucinate?

Seeing how cannabis does fall into the psychotropic group of drugs, this question makes sense for a lot of people.

To put it simply, too much kief might make you hear a door squeak when it’s really not there, but that’s about as far as it can go.

Can kief be purple?

If you’ve used your grinder for cannabis that has purple pistils, you may get purple kief. This is still a pretty rare situation and you should definitely take a picture of that and post it on social media.

Can kief get moldy?

In my decade-long experience in cannabis, I have never seen kief become moldy, even after spending months in a grinder. Just don’t keep it in a bag exposed to high temperatures and sunlight, and you should be fine.

Why is kief so potent?

Kief is potent because it is made from tiny resin glands which hold terpenes and cannabinoids within. It’s basically a natural cannabis concentrate, with high levels of THC, which is why it’s so strong.

Why turn kief into hash?

Turning kief into hash is a great way to make sure it won’t spill on the floor, which would basically render it useless. Also, hash has a much different taste and aroma, and tends to be more potent as well.

Why separate kief from the bud?

Kief is a delicacy among cannabis users, and when added to a joint, it gives users an unprecedented high. People who smoke cannabis love experimenting with weed to achieve different effects and separating kief gives them a unique way to use the entirety of their bud.

What to do with kief?

Smoke it, press it, put it in your butter. Kief is very versatile when it comes to its application. You can do just about anything with kief as you can with weed, but know that the end product is going to be way more potent.

Are trichomes and kief the same?

Kief is made from the crystalized tips of trichomes which hold resin glands. Trichomes are the translucent hairs on top of the weed which keep the plant safe from harm. Long story short—yes, kief and trichomes are basically the same thing.

Are kief catchers worth it?

Yes, and make sure you get one when buying your next grinder. Having two or three chambers is always better than having none.

How much kief do I need to make cookies?

Just because kief is so potent, you won’t need much, so ⅓ of a gram, or ½ gram per portion should do the trick.
